Arc Welding Products

The arc welding technology area focuses on the most commonly used arc welding processes, mainly GMAW/MIG, GTAW/TIG, SMAW/stick, and plasma. The articles and press releases cover processes and power sources, plus all of the related items—electrodes and wire, wire feeders, fixtures, manipulators, positioners, and power sources. If you need information on personal protective gear, ventilation systems, and safety practices for welders, see our Safety coverage area.

Castolin Eutectic has introduced two new groups of welding equipment to the European market.
The XuperArc series comprises three models at 320, 400, and 500 amps with advanced touchscreen control. These multitasking machines, suitable for GMAW, GTAW, and MMAW, are designed for joining, repair,...

Lincoln Electric has introduced the Aspect 375 GTAW power source for use in critical welding applications.
The constant-current SMAW and GTAW machine provides GTAW output of 2 to 375 amps (single-phase range is 2 to 250 amps). It is rated at 330 amps at 40 percent duty cycle and 300 amps at 60...

Miller Electric Mfg. Co. has introduced the new Big Blue® 800 Duo Pro welding machine/generator with FieldPro™ Smart Feeder compatibility for field welding applications. The multiprocess system can run conventional SMAW, GTAW, FCAW, and GMAW, as well as advanced Regulated Metal Deposition...

Miller has added features to its LiveArc™ reality-based weld training system, which uses motion-tracking technology to provide students with immediate feedback to help them advance their welding skills.
The system now is available with a welding positioning arm for training in out-of-position...

Fronius has introduced the TPS 600i. The power source can supply up to 600 amps of welding current at a welding voltage of 44 V and a 60 percent duty cycle. The unit is suitable for use in mechanized and robot-assisted welding within the heavy steel construction and mechanical engineering sectors,...

Miller Electric Mfg. Co. has released the WE BUILD™-themed 2015 full-line catalog of welding and cutting products.
The 112-page catalog provides specifications for and comparisons of GMAW machines, GTAW machines and torches, SMAW machines, and metal-cutting and engine-driven welder...

The Lincoln Electric Co. has introduced an orbital GMAW system suitable for industries such as pipeline, construction, and process piping.
The system is driven by the APEX® 3000 mechanized controller and pairs with the HELIX® M85 weld head and track ring. Each component in the system can...

The new Parweld 320A XTI 353 AC/DC inverter is a lightweight, portable machine for production applications. The unit can be used in both AC and DC modes for GTAW or MMA welding.
Square-wave AC output and power pulsing help maximize productivity and reduce heat input, the company reports. The AC...

The new multiprocess XMT® ArcReach™ systems from Miller Electric Mfg. Co. allow welding operators to set voltage at the weld joint without the use of control cables. This capability minimizes unnecessary trips to the power source. Voltage control at the weld joint also helps minimize operator...

The Weld Sequencer from Lincoln Electric allows welders to view each weld in the operational sequence pictorially and log results automatically.
The welding power source parameters, such as voltage, wire feed speed, and waveform mode, are set for each discrete weld. The software includes...
